Università Roma Tre

THE AIM OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH PRELIMINARY DESIGN PROCEDURES AND CRITERIA FOR TURBOMACHINES. (FROM GAS, STEAM, AND HYDRAULIC TURBINES TO PUMPS, FANS, BLOWERS AND COMPRESSORS).
MOVING FROM PERFORMANCE TARGETS AND SPECIFIC DESIGN BOUNDARY CONDITIONS, THE STUDENT WILL LEARN SOME SIMPLIFIED DESIGN METHODOLOGIES TAKING MATERIAL, MECHANICAL AND THERMAL STRESSES, TRANSONIC FLOW LIMITS AND CAVITATION INTO ACCOUNT. THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE DEGREE OF FREEDOM WILL BE IMPLEMENTED IN THE DESIGN PROCEDURES.
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO ANALYSE MACHINE PERFORMANCE ONCE THE MAIN GEOMETRIC QUANTITIES ARE GIVEN.
